about me

oh, hi!

I’m Carly. I’m a graphic designer, calligrapher, artist, and a whole host of other things, but I’m also a distance runner, a homeschooling mama of my 4 favorite kiddos, and partner to my very best friend.

As long as I can remember, I’ve loved the smell of fresh paper and crayons, and was obsessed with various art supplies. I used to look at the detail of the seasonally-painted windows as I held my mom’s hand entering the grocery store, wondering how I could possibly get THAT job.

Creativity is in my blood, and despite the many other interests and passions that have come along, I feel most at home when my hands are covered in some kind of messy medium as I watch a work of art come to life before my eyes.

As a deep empath, I have strong feelings about communication and relationships, so working in weddings, stationery, and products intended to be gifted and/or shared is the perfect space. I love my job, my clients, and the capacity to make my life and the lives of those around me more beautiful. I’m happy you found me, my friend.

my why

I take my faith, family, health, and my job very seriously, but the best part of my life requires the tiny (or not so tiny?) humans I made and the man who created them with me.

I whole-heartedly believe in personal development, but often work on it post-run, whilst (still) wearing lululemon clothing and eating potato chips (in fact, if coconut oil potato chips can't be found in heaven, is it really considered heaven?).

we should be friends

So if you can handle the occasional quote from Mean Girls + Swiftie lyrics right on the heels of an in-depth convo about challenging stereotypes and human empowerment, we should be friends.

If you're looking for someone to help you create a greater impact with visual words, you've found the right place.

So pull up the closest wingback chair, and let's chat about the vision you have for your home, event, or business. 

I promise to take your words and beautify them in a way that creates cohesiveness and class, oozes your style, and delivers what you need in a way that excites you!
